Release notes

http:BL / Drupal 7

Features:

• http:BL lookups for visitor IPs
• Blocking of requests coming from blacklisted IPs
• Database caching, decreasing the number of DNS lookups
• Honeypot link placement on ban page and optionally in footer
• Whitelisting through the httpbl cache table
• Blacklisted IPs banned (added to Drupal blocked_ips table)
• Greylisting: grants the user access if they pass a simple test
• Optional: Checking only when a comment is placed,
  re-writes blocked comments for easier admin identification
• Basic statistics on the number of blocked visits
• Optional 3 levels of logging (Error only, Positive Lookups or Verbose - for testing and gaining trust)
• Greylisting threat-level threshold configurable in admin settings.
• Length of time cached visits are held are determined by configurable settings (not hard coded)
• Default Views included (identify blocked and whitelisted IPs with links to their Honeypot profiles)

#1234178: Config page has a non-working link to the Blocked Hosts report page. (Documentation update)

Release notes

Development release for Drupal 7.x.
(This is stable enough to run in production environments, but use at your own risk)

Note: Thanks to API changes in Drupal 7, the conditions that made logging problematic for the D6 version of httpbl are no longer issues. This version takes advantage of those API changes and offers more (or less) logging options, and also more error messaging in the UI, in the event that real people are blocked while attempting to leave comments.

* Optional 3 levels of logging (Error only, Positive Lookups or Verbose - used mainly for testing feedback and gaining trust)
* New Comment checking (re-writes comments from bad IPs and bans from future visits. Blocked comments will remain unpublished, regardless of other moderation permissions. Admins will be able to recognize comments that came from nuisance IPs)

Also includes these new features introduced recently in an alternate fork of D6.
* Configurable thresholds for both grey and blacklisting.
* Length of time cached visits are held are determined by configurable settings.
* Default views pages included (Views module required). These show blocked and whitelisted IPs with links to their Honeypot profiles.

Release notes

Fix for #575482: No checks done when configured for anonymous users

Release notes

This release fixes a small issue which however broke version 2.0. If you were using version 2.0 then you might consider emptying the httpbl database table to remove any cached data.

Release notes

Adds greylisting for IP addresses that fall below a certain threat level and fixes several bugs.

Release notes

Release with basic http:BL-based IP blocking and Honeypot linking features.
